Enlightenment

From JDpedia

Enlightenment is the process that allows characters to become stronger. Your enlightenment is measured by your tier. In order to gain enlightenment and go up a tier, you must be the appropriate level. Each faction has five tiers, from Tier 1 to Tier 5. As you progress in your enlightenment and gain tiers, you become stronger and tougher.

Humans start as Initiates, and can choose their faction at level 15. Athan characters pick their faction at character creation. Everyone starts out as Tier 1 in their chosen faction.

Tier 1 - Level 15 (human) or on Character creation (Athan)

Tier 2 - Level 45

Tier 3 - Level 75

Tier 4 - Level 105

Tier 5 - Level 135

When you reach the appropriate level, a Carrier Pigeon quest will appear in your quest log. This is the starting point of your Tier quest.

The Tier 3 to Tier 5 Enlightenment quests are the same for all factions.
Here are the starting npcs for those quests.

Tier 1

Human factions, upon reaching level 15, should speak to Tanis Ka in Sunstream City. Defeat a Chi Beast to show your capability.

Return to Tanis Ka and declare your intention to join one of the six human factions.

Athans automatically start at Tier 1.

Vim

If you decide to join the Vim faction, you will get a quest to slaughter 50 Moaning Harpies (-288, 378) within the ruins of the Grasstemple Village in Sunstream to demonstrate your ability to carry out tasks without question or hesitation.

Return to Meri Koon in Sunstream City (98, 140) once the deed is done and you will be welcomed into the Vim.

Lupin

If you decide to join the Lupin faction, you will get a quest to destroy the Wraith Wench located in the Seat of Dragons in Sunstream (-384, 12).

Voida

In 30 minutes, kill the Flame Morpher (-453, 201) and the Nether Morpher (-453, 190) at the Futan Altar.

Use Illusion Star against the Nether Morpher, and Illusion Aroma against the Flame Morpher.

Return back to Ji Cang. You will then be teleported back to Rego Khan to finish the quest.

Tier 3

Upon reaching level 75, speak with the NPC corresponding to your faction.

In order to prove yourself worthy of further training, you must speak with Tanis Ka in Sunstream City (160, 145). Tanis Ka does not offer the information freely and requests that you pay him 5 Gold for the knowledge he possesses.

He will send you to speak with either Wango Yinh in The Billows (218, 408) or Weikoch outside of the Skysong Temple (-250, -35) and offer them your assistance.

Note: Not agreeing to either Wango Yinh or Weikoch's request can cause the quest to fail - at which point you must pay an additional 5 Gold to Tanis Ka to begin again.

You will be tasked to do one of the following:

Defeat 50 Wild Wolves outside of Sunstream City (50, -50).

Defeat 50 Butterfly surrounding Sunstream City (175, 5).

Defeat 50 Monkey Phantasms near the Valley of Abandon in Jadeon (230, -140).

After doing this, travel to the Cynical Dialectian in The Billows (120, 0) and speak with him.

An unusual and powerful item is needed in order to prove yourself worthy of the knowledge - a Yasho Essence Orb.

You'll deliver these flower to either Anan in Jadeon (405, -195), or Negar in Sunstream (91, 141).

Return to the Elder of Mystery and answer his next set of questions.

Depending on your answer, you'll have to do one of the following:

Defeat the Elysium Executioner in Sunstream near the Epitaph Mountain (416, -268).

Defeat the Elysium Sentry in Sunstream near the Fountainhead Hollows (56, 110).

Having completed the final trial, return to the NPC corresponding to your faction to receive your well-earned reward.

Tier 5

Upon reaching level 135, speak with your corresponding NPC.

Visit the Elder of Mystery at the Immortal's Outlook in Sunstream City (240, 285).

Fast As Wind

Within 10 minutes, you must reach a number of NPCs, one after another, within the Kunlun Mountains and Shura.

It's suggested that you go to at least the first four locations beforehand and set Portal Charms before starting the quest, as the NPCs are spread out and 10 minutes will not be enough time to walk the distance. With the implementation of a new system, you can now teleport to the NPCs directly without setting Portal Charms beforehand by clicking on the Portal Charm icon beside NPC's name in the quest log "Q", provided that you have Portal Charms in you bag. If you fail the quest you will have to wait until the next day to re-take it.

Brishen within the Spirit Grove (Kunlun 140, -430)

Mufi atop Mount Gunyu (Kunlun 280, 166).

General Camlo at the Paramount Valley (Kunlun 108, 404).

Lord Lushan along the Path of the Righteous (Shura 420, -200).

Wraither inside of Eternal Bliss (Shura -12, 22).

Kowilo in the outskirts of the Floating Path of Hell (Shura -20, -190).

Upon completion of the task, you will be automatically teleported back to the Elder of Mystery speak with him to obtain your next trial.

Tranquility

Travel to Jadeon and harvest 49 Black Bamboo in the Dark Bamboo Grove (-110, 260) to restore peace and tranquility to the forest. You should recruit some friends to help, as otherwise this quest will take a while to complete.

Upon completion of the task, you will be automatically teleported back to the Elder of Mystery speak with him to obtain your next trial.

Fire Aggression

Within 2 hours, travel to Mount Clearwind in the Kunlun Mountains and defeat the Levitating Traveler (-380, 134).

It is recommended to recruit a team of level 120+ players to help attack the Levitating Traveler.

Upon completion of the task, you will be automatically teleported back to the Elder of Mystery. Speak with him to obtain your next trial.

Mountain Dweller

Finally, do battle with the creature Skyscream to prove your worth.

Survive the encounter for 3 minutes without dying or leaving the area. Do not bother trying to kill the beast, for it is immortal and will be reborn within moments of being defeated.

After you have lasted 3 minutes... CONGRATS! You will be automatically teleported back to the Elder of Mystery. Speak with him to unlock the full knowledge of your faction and master their abilities.
